I shipped off my PBQ104 sample quilt to the longarmer this week so pattern testers watch out for a new pattern coming your way in a few weeks! I celebrate these wins with some fun piecing on personal projects. I am starting a quilt with Tula Pink’s Tabby Road fabric line. It has got to be the absolute LOUDEST quilt I’ve ever made. The colors...
That was a quote photo on GoGoKim’s Instagram earlier this week, and it could not speak the truth anymore clear. I finally got a new cutting table that is the proper height rather than my plastic table set up. I got a kitchen island from IKEA like the ones I had seen at the retreat center. Because the cutting table doesn’t fit in my current...
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had a productive week. Can you believe it’s already August?! I’m so ready for fall weather. Last weekend at my last minute retreat at Stitch Supply Co., I met a great group of women from the Chicago Sewing Social Group. It was a blast of a weekend as well as super productive! If you have ever had reservations of...
So some time earlier this week I had a mini panic attack that I was not getting nearly enough stuff done. Stitch Supply Co. is having one of their “per person” retreat weekends, which means anyone can sign up to claim one of their 16 beds at their retreat center without renting out the entire space! So that’s where I’m headed today and can hopefully...
Well ladies and gents, I’m in Dallas this weekend to visit my family and oh em gee it’s hot hot hot! I know I grew up here, but I’ve definitely grown accustomed to the weather up north! The best part about visiting is looking for fun new Quilt Shops in the area or returning to some great new ones! One of the shops close to...
Happy Friday everyone!!! Surprise! There’s now going to be posts on Friday for my weekly updates! I decided I will keep my Tuesday post for feature posts, and Friday will be my time to give an update on what I’m working on or what I’ve finished that week! Since I didn’t have an update this past Tuesday, this post covers about a week and half...
Happy Birthday to the USA!!! I hope everyone is having a safe and wonderful holiday. This week Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) is going on in downtown Minneapolis. Games Done Quick is a bi-annual charity gaming marathon. Volunteers play games at incredible speed (“Speedrunning”) for entertainment. The event is streamed live online, non-stop, and all donations go directly to the charity. The event will be...
I have no idea what this quilt block is called, but this is what I came up with for the #BCBarnQuiltSwap4 quilt for my partner. It is made using Half Square Triangles (HST), a single Hourglass block, and no waste flying geese blocks. Here’s how you make the 16″ finished block with the colors referencing the block above: Cutting instructions: Dark Blue: Cut 1 -...
I finally finished this quilt top! I have a very strong love/hate relationship with this quilt top for many reasons. Before I started, I had already heard this quilt pattern wasn’t the easiest to follow and that it was wasn’t the easiest of quilts to make. This blog post is dedicated to my assessment of the quilt, the quilt pattern, and any tips and tricks...
This past weekend was the Minnesota Quilters Show in Duluth, MN. I didn’t attend any of the lectures or classes this time, but I was able to take Friday off work to drive up and explore the show. It was definitely worth the drive (~2.5hrs each way) to see some of these spectacular quilts. This is my favorite of all the quilts at the show. ...
